If you’ve been keeping up on this homestead tour, you’ll
know that Mama Duck is sitting on her clutch of eggs and Lula Mae is growing
wider with her expected kid(s) by the day. It’s a privilege to watch how these
mothers take care of their not-yet-arrived little ones and how their behavior
changes as time gets closer.

But I’d be remiss if I failed to tell you the other
anticipated arrival on our homestead. Yes, Mr. Bee and I are expecting our
first Baby Bee!

We’ve waited a long time to share in this forum for a
variety of reasons, but now that it is so close, it doesn’t make sense not to share. It’s an exciting time and
I’m happy to be in the company of other expectant mothers. As my time draws
nearer, I am amazed at how similar all
animals act when nesting—including humans.
Let’s just hope Lula Mae and I don’t have too much in
common. Our due dates are 2 weeks apart. And we’re both planning on birthing at
home. =/ Did I mention she had some
ovulatory complications when we were trying to breed her?
